We have 3 squash courts all with spacious viewing galleries. By recoating the courts every-other-year we do our best to keep them in good shape. There is even recent talk of on court heating to keep those balls bouncing during the winter months!

Internal Leagues
The internal squash leagues run from September through till March each year and players of every standard are encouraged to enter.
The league boxes each have 5 players maximum with each player playing each other once per month. At the end of each month two players are promoted (except in top league) and two are relegated (except in bottom league). Each player receives points for each game won in a match plus an additional 6 bonus points for playing all of the matches in their league.
The points gained are totalled each month and used to position each player in a league table. The entry fee for the leagues is £5.00 per month with each monthly box winner receiving £10.00 and the overall league table winner in March receiving £100.00.
